Example of Mycelium-based composite material. Mycelium, a root-like structure that comprises the main vegetative growth of fungi, has been identified as an ecologically friendly substitute to a litany of materials throughout different industries, including but not limited to packaging, fashion and building materials.

Building impacts belong to two distinct but interrelated types of carbon emissions: operational and embodied carbon.Operational carbon includes emissions related to the building's functioning, such as lighting and heating; embodied carbon encompasses emissions resulting from the physical construction of buildings, including the processing of materials, material waste, transportation, assembly ...
A living building material (LBM) is a material used in construction or industrial design that behaves in a way resembling a living organism. Examples include: self-mending biocement, [ 1 ] self-replicating concrete replacement, [ 2 ] and mycelium -based composites for construction and packaging .
Discover mycocrete, the mycelium-based mix set to revolutionize eco-friendly building practices, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional materials.
Mycelium bio-composites have shown strong potential for structural applications, with much higher strength-to-weight ratios than that of conventional materials due primarily to its low density. Compared to conventional building materials, mycelium also has a number of desirable properties that make it an attractive alternative.
A thermal insulation panel, made of bio-material extracted from mushroom mycelium, ready for installation. Mushroom materials are a novel class of renewable bio-material grown from fungal mycelium and low-value non-food agricultural materials using a patented process developed by Ecovative Design.
2. Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Pomegranates. For a healthy twist on classic Christmas dishes like green bean casserole or potatoes au gratin, try roasted Brussels sprouts.
[1] [2] [12] Up until the point when rhizomorphs or mushroom "pins" appear, the mycelium is an amorphous mass spread throughout the growth substrate, unrecognizable as a mushroom. Carbon dioxide concentration becomes elevated during the vegetative growth phase, when mycelium is sealed in a gas-resistant plastic barrier or bag which traps gases ...
